Hi. I am looking at a 1995 S4s with 21k miles. Last owner since 1998. The supplying Lotus dealer is stating full service history. It looks in super shape. I believe the previous owner has hardly used it over the years and I understand been in dry storage. Now, should there really be a service stamp for every year even if it's only covered a few hundred? The Mot's back up the mileage. It looks as though the Cam belts have been changed at the correct intervals. I have not owned an S4s for a few years so just checking. Any thoughts are welcome please. Or if anyone knows or has looked at this car. It's sitting in Hilton & Moss.

Hi Phil
Thank you for replying. The reason it says sold is coz I've actually put a deposit on it! smile I know it has been up for sale for a long time so I was curious as to why....obviously it is, in my opinion, a tad too expensive but I have negotiated a good price I think, as long as they stick to their word as far as preparation goes. They are going to service it and do the belts. The tyres are practically brand new as they put an MOT on it last year and replaced them. They have told me they have used it reasonably regularly. The air con has been re gassed and system checked and all okay. The condition of it backs up the low mileage so I'm sure it's genuine. I have not dealt with Hilton before but I'm guessing the are reputable!
Regards
Stuart

Yes I will, as soon as I take ownership. The C service has been completed as well as Cam belts and tensioners. ABS issue being corrected at the moment.

Unfortunately they were un able to repair a problem with the AC.
Every time they delivered the car back to me it was not properly fixed so back it went. It wasn't the best experience.
However after they enrolled the AC specialist it got sorted. The S4s is running lovely now!! 😄
